Homes.com has debuted its new real estate and home ownership web center, and is showing a preview of its new customer service feature, My.Homes.com, exclusively for Realty Times readers.
My.Homes.com offers a time, cost and frustration-saving approach for consumers to search, save and track a wide range of home-oriented services such as real estate information, moving and relocation services, home improvement resources, neighborhood and lifestyle information, and decoration and furnishing resources all through a convenient home page.
Editor's note: The following are special links for Realty Times readers to My.Homes.com site screen shots. The links are not live, but are designed to illustrate the features for our readers.
Consumers can simply register for My.Homes.com, and their experience becomes personalized and focused. The personalized service allows the user to find a recommended real estate agent, mortgage and settlement services and a calculator to do the math. If the consumer is considering moving to a new area, My.Homes.com can provide information on what the neighborhood crime statistics are, what the school district is rated, or the best route to their potential new home for an open house. My.Homes.com also provides moving and relocation services to post the change in address, turn on utilities, and rent a moving van.
Consumers can bookmark and save information, and have information "pushed" to their My.Homes.com site as it becomes available.
Consumers will also enjoy receiving email notification of new listings that meet their search criteria. The links go directly to the property, and are also available on their My.Homes.com home page.
The My.Home.com concept offers a new user experience for the consumer, one that is tailored for their needs. The service is free, and can be set us as a start page while the consumer finds and makes improvements to the home. start page.
My.Homes.com is scheduled to be released on April 20, 2000, where the feature will be an integral part of the Homes.com web center, and will complement the numerous services currently available for real estate industry professionals, says the company.
